Boofy Blog

I must have been feeling very confident one day, I connected my Trustpilot reviews to my Boofy website to automatically prompt customers to write a review. I sat and waited for some nice comments to roll in when one dark, cold evening Trustpilot emailed me to tell me ‘You have received a 1 star review!’

This is how to skip the queue, leap over the fumbling latecomers and dash out with the vritual cart, a rainbow roar sweater and a very smug smile

I'd like to believe that most parents buy clothes for their children with longevity in mind. We don't set out to buy clothing to wear once before it is reduced to the 'outgrown' pile but, this feels like the inevitable consequence of clothing any child because- from the start of pregnancy children basically don't stop growing until their twenties.

If you're new to Boofy, I hope that the blog gives you a great insight into not only how I run the shop day-to- day with posts like this but also on the matters that are important generally, such as the time wasting exercise of shops separating children's clothes into boys and girls sections.If you were wondering about that, you can read it here

 

I have even been known to get a little bit ranty and wrote about the problem with messages to shops asking for freebies... If you were thinking about doing that, and I'm not saying that you were or anything, but you might want to take a look at this blog post first.

 

I am fast approaching year #2 of running Boofy and until this point the format has been more or less the same, except for an everchanging influx of cuter and cuter children's clothing designs. 

I've outlined on Social media already the changes that are going to take place that are going to make shopping on Boofy better than ever before, and some ideas that are still floating around my head, needing to materialise into action.

Shopping is laced with these major paradoxes of ethics which can quickly set your head into a spin of what is conscious consuming anymore, how far does it go, and most importantly for now: Where should I shop this Christmas?

Due to the necessity of professionalism, the average parent is never really able to get to know teachers personally, until now!

I've asked 5 questions to a UK Primary school teacher (who happens also to be my sister) She qualified 6 Years ago and has kindly answered me to tell parents:

Things Primary School Teachers wish parents knew. 

Corset onesies, Chest hair toddler tshirts and 3-inch heels for 8 year olds. All have been sold at one point or another. I didn't struggle to find ...

Many parents and carers decorate a childs nursery  with some consideration to the the prediction of the sex of the baby by the ultrasound technicia...

Few things fill up independent business owners inboxes more quickly than emails requesting freebies shrouded in a very threadbare cloak of "collabo...

These are my hand picked top favourites, not just because of the super cool, funky and fun children's clothing that they sell, but because I buy from these people to clothe the adorable little people in my life too! So when I say that I really like their stuff, I mean it!

When most people visit Boofy, they might click around, perhaps something catches their eye but it could be just a split second thought that prevents a person from buying.  Maybe it's as simple as what they wanted is not in stock, or maybe it's a gut feeling telling them not to buy right now. Maybe their mind is telling them one of the following reasons NOT to shop at Boofy today:
